FOUND IN ATTIC!!!!:

[artzstuff1]

Found this beauty in a attic of a friends house yesterday!! spent all morning cleaning it and getting all the old gumballs out!!

It had a lock on the cash box, I used my trusty master key (Bolt cutters)to get into the cash box and it contained a few coins.

They were jefferson nickels and two old tokens all the coins in the box are pictured, nothing to old !!

Anyway I thought everyone would get a kick out of this,,,, thanks for lookin

Did you notice the black spots(holes) on the gumballs in the picture? The gum held small slips of paper that had a "score" you matched to the card on the marque. (gambling, sorta/kinda)
